Looking at the comments, most of them say that Xiaoqiang’s president is too indecisive, cowardly, and kind.

To be honest, politicians do not have the above "shortcomings", but Xiaoqiang is not a pure president, he is passively sitting in the position of president.

However, a kind and cowardly Virgin Mary indecisive politician is not the good point of this TV series?

I personally think that the director’s central idea is a perfect expression of the combination of ruthless, cold-blooded and treacherous politicians and kind-hearted people. The collision between the characters and the current system after fusion is the biggest point of this film.
